OUR MISSION Xavier is a Jesuit Catholic university rooted in the liberal arts tradition. Our mission is to educate each student intellectually, morally and spiritually. We create learning opportunities through rigorous academic and professional programs integrated with co-curricular engagement. In an inclusive environment of open and free inquiry, we prepare students for a world that is increasingly diverse, complex and interdependent. Driven by our commitment to educating the whole person, promoting the common good, and serving others, the Xavier community challenges and supports all our members as we cultivate lives of reflection, compassion and informed action. XAVIER UNIVERSITY GRAPHIC IDENTITY GUIDE | ii OUR VISION AND MISSION OUR ACADEMIC VISION Xavier University, a comprehensive university in the Jesuit tradition, excels at educating students intellectually, morally and spiritually by challenging them to become men and women of integrity and compassion. We inspire one another to achieve our full potential and to engage in society as competent, thoughtful and responsible global citizens. We value academic rigor, research, reflection and the integration of knowledge and action that works toward the betterment of society.

We are unique individuals who come together in the spirit of St. Ignatius, to learn together, to serve together, and we will succeed in changing the world together. We act with integrity, justice and generosity. All for one and one for all. XAVIER UNIVERSITY GRAPHIC IDENTITY GUIDE | iv OUR STUDENT COMMITMENT BRAND OVERVIEW THE X IN XAVIER IS A POWERFUL SYMBOL It represents how we empower every Musketeer. And “All For One” is more than a tagline. It is a promise and an invitation. We welcome students who believe in collaboration and think carefully about their future. What we provide are experiences and challenges grounded in our Jesuit educational and spiritual philosophy. As a community, we move forward, contributing to something bigger than ourselves. Xavier’s continuing success builds on our foundation of learning, serving and achieving together. A Musketeer never goes it alone. We prepare students for a meaningful life of work, service and personal fulfillment. Our mission is a world changed for the better.

XAVIER UNIVERSITY GRAPHIC IDENTITY GUIDE | 1.5 OUR PILLARS LOGO, WORD MARKS, SIGNATURES AND UNIVERSITY SEAL PRIMARY UNIVERSITY LOGO There is only one primary Xavier University logo: The Xavier X. It is the unifying symbol that represents and unites everyone at Xavier. UNIVERSITY TAGLINE: ALL FOR ONE Similarly, the tagline “All For One” should be used to describe Xavier whenever possible. Here at Xavier, we always say no one goes it alone, meaning no student, faculty or staff member should be without assistance or camaraderie. It also harkens back to our Jesuit legacy. Whether it is in an online story about faculty, academics or an athletics update, All For One should be used to describe the experience here at Xavier whenever we can. Frequently, it is used as a sign off in letters or emails, and can be written in all caps, or — in some cases — where only the starting letters are capitalized. ALL FOR ONE. All For One. XAVIER UNIVERSITY GRAPHIC IDENTITY GUIDE | 2.1 PRIMARY UNIVERSITY LOGO AND TAGLINE PRIMARY UNIVERSITY LOGO Primary logo full color One color The preferred use of the primary University logo is in its full-color variant. However, a one-color option is available for applications where full color is not achievable or desired. Note that the coloration of the logo changes depending upon the background color to which it is applied. The logo may not be reconstructed or altered in any way. It must always be prominent and legible. It must be reproduced from high-resolution digital files. Color placement must never be altered under any circumstance. The primary University logo can be used with the University name and with the All For One tagline. This combination is called the “logo signature” or “All For One signature,” respectively. Guidelines appear later in this section. For questions, contact the Office of Marketing and Communications: [email protected] or 513-745 -3111.
